#WorldAIDSDay is a global movement to unite people in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Since 1988, communities have stood together on World AIDS Day to show strength and solidarity against HIV stigma and to remember lives lost. In the UK, more than 105,000 people are living with HIV. Globally, an estimated 38 million people live with the virus. More than 35 million people have died of HIV or AIDS related illnesses over the past 40 years, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history. Medical advances mean people with HIV can expect a long and healthy life and that we have the tools to stop HIV transmissions for good. But HIV continues to be highly stigmatised and misunderstood. At National AIDS World AIDS Day exists to shine a light on the real experiences of people living with HIV today, while celebrating the strength, resilience and diversity of the communities most affected. https://worldaidsday.org/about/
A reminder that repeat prescription requests take 5 working days for the practice to action. Community pharmacies have their own waiting times as well so we always recommend you request your medication in very good time. We have some sickness in our Prescription Admin team today but we are working hard to action repeat requests as quickly as possible. Given the bank holidays this month, please request in good time - ideally before the end of the week.
